Meal Prep Tips

• To make the week easier, cook or prep the shredded Mexican chicken ahead and refrigerate it for Tuesday's tacos. It also makes excellent leftovers for salads, rice bowls, or quick lunches.
• Wash and dry salad greens early in the week, and prep simple taco toppings like shredded lettuce, chopped tomatoes, and sliced green onions.
• For Wednesday's pork chops, make sure the peaches are ripe but still firm enough to hold their shape in the skillet. You can also season the pork chops ahead and refrigerate until ready to cook.
• If you're planning the salmon for Thursday, thaw it overnight in the refrigerator and pat it dry before cooking for the best sear.
• And don't forget the popsicles. Make them a day or two ahead so they're frozen and ready whenever the week needs something cool and sweet.
